Running Developer Examples on i.MX8 with ArcGIS Embedded Linux

Question

Hello everybody,

We are currently trying to run basic samples of ArcGIS on i.MX8 board. But we obtained no result so far. The samples are either running but show no map or not  working and cause a segmantation fault. With tons of tries, we observed that our problem is tied to OpenGL support on the board. i.MX8 has OpenGL ES support but not OpenGL support so far. Is there a way for us to using ArcGIS on this board? May we use ArcGIS with OpenGL ES? I am leaving our version details below.

* i.MX8 toolchain: Yocto Sumo 4.14
* Qt Version: 5.10.1
* ArcGIS SDK: 100.4
* ArcGIS Runtime SDK for Qt Embedded Linux Beta

Our strace output is at the attachment section.

Hi @BBBAYRAM ,

Unfortunately we have closed this project and it never progressed out of the beta phase. I am interested to hear about your specific case and if this is something we can consider reopening the beta program for.

I can say that the Beta did require full, Desktop-class OpenGL support and not OpenGL ES. Included with the Beta were some instructions on how to build a version of Qt for the target hardware that would target OpenGL, which is not the default for embedded devices. We had only tested on higher-end devices, such as the NVidia Jetson TX2 and Jetson Nano.

To answer your question, no, the beta won't work on the i.MX8 unfortunately due to our OpenGL requirements.

Hi @BBBAYRAM ,

Thanks for the info. I will bring this info to the Runtime team as a justification to reopen the Beta, but unfortunately I cannot promise anything. It is unlikely we can spin the project back up unless we hear from a few more users.
